By choosing Love as my guide, strength is mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am not confident that I can alter the ways of the world to be as I would have them be. If so, today I would end all war plus so much that disrespects people and Mother Earth. What I know that I do have power over in this world is how I see it and react to what is occurring around me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I can choose peace instead of this. I can choose to look on my brother or sister as afraid, which covers their longing for love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">God is with me. God is with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9-10-2024<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cEven in this world, it is I who rule my destiny.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I recently heard a spiritual teacher say that destiny is the Higher Self\u2019s free will. This idea is helping me to understand this lesson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cMy Self \u2026 is but Your Will in perfect union with my own.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we are connected to the Presence of Love within us then we are with our Higher Selves. From this place we share the One Will that can quickly manifest things into this world. I believe we also manifest from our worldly selves but it is slower (I\u2019m thinking of Law of Attraction). But, perhaps those manifestations are still the Will of HS to be signs to us to wake up and\/or direct us on our path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I loved Hollie\u2019s notes today. She spoke of a rose blooming in her garden. She said that she could take credit for proper planting and care of the rose, but she shared that it was the energy between the rose and the Sun that brought the bloom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Little me remains in service to the flow of Love. &lt;3<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9-10-2023<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am the creator of my world. For me, whose life is easy and blessed, this is easy to accept. I am somewhat peaceful, and my life is somewhat peaceful. I do not know of the minds of others who go through turbulent times. If everyone involved in a natural disaster somehow desiring that? It is difficult to think that this is true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And, even in our lives of peace, there is still the natural changes of life and death. We don\u2019t desire for loved ones to die but still it happens \u2013 if only to follow natural cycles and seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are able to choose how we react to the troubling times in our lives. Perhaps this is how we rule over the universe. And \u2026 this may affect what then comes next into our living experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9-10-2022<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am feeling more comfortable with knowing I am the Holy Child of God. This lesson is way out there for me. I know that reference to \u2018I\u2019 and \u2018self\u2019 can be to various levels of my being and awareness, but the lesson does say \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u2018even in this world, it is I who rule my destiny. What happens is what I desire. What does not occur is what I don not want to happen.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have pain in my head today, I don\u2019t want that. I recently had energy healing from which I declared that I had received the gift of healing. Still the pain is back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m here. I\u2019m listening. Please tell me what this head issue is about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And \u2026 please help me with this lesson. _\/\\_<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My Self is ruler of the Universe. 9-10-2026 &nbsp;I am contained in the power of Love. \u201cMy Self, Which rules the universe, is but Your will in perfect union with my own \u2026\u201d [CE W-253.2:2] If I am as God &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/triciabatessmith.com:443\/index.php\/2026\/09\/10\/acim-l253\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[130],"tags":[10,201,45,147,153,58,197,286],"class_list":["post-2600","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-acim","tag-acim","tag-creation","tag-higher-self","tag-hollie-holden","tag-holy-child","tag-love","tag-pain","tag-power"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
